It was a Friday… this Friday… at slow burn

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ssh, windmill, imp walkers, Peter Parker’s, all in cadence. Mixed in some up and down dogs
THE THANG: there was a list of 6 assignments taped to the empire pizza end and the Persis end of the building near cot. Each assignment consisted of one or more exercises, with counts of each to complete. The pax started at one end of the building and did assignment 1, then moseyed to the other end of the building to complete assignment 1 down there. The pax would then mosey back to the original location to complete assignment 2 on that list. This patterns continues. Halfway through each run between ends, the pax would stop for 15 dips (180 in total across the entire workout). Once all six assignments were completed. We finished the last one with the 6 and moseyed back to COT
MARY: we got a few rounds in including freddys, penguins, shakiras, and gas pumpers among others

lotsa left turns

Leave a comment

WARMUP: disclaimer
THE THANG: wander through FMHS past the baseball field and pullup bars to get to Harris st. LEFT…. run to Walden Park entrance….. LEFT…. hug the LEFT curb and keep making LEFTS until you run every bit of Walden Park and arrive back at Harris St. Some made a right and headed back to COT. Some crossed Harris and continued the LEFT theme, running a couple more streets on the opposite side of Harris before returning to COT.
MARY: Some had a couple minutes to do some strider/sprints. Highly encourage runners to do this occassionally – your running mechanics and body benefits from sprinting from time to time.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: Yup

Sorry this backblast is late…. Sorry the video post to slack was late….

As often happens in the journey of life – better late than never.

I. The Warm-O-Rama (The Tip-Off)
• The Mosey: A light 5-minute jog around the AO (Area of Operation) to get the blood flowing.
• Side-Straddle Hops: 20 reps in cadence (IC).
• Imperial Walkers: 15 reps IC (keep it slow to stretch the hip flexors).
• Windmills: 10 reps IC.
• Rebound Jumps: 30 seconds of small, rhythmic hops (stay on the balls of your feet).
II. The Thang: “The Road to the Final Four”
This is a four-station circuit. Spend 4 minutes at each station. If the group is large, split into four teams and rotate.
Station 1: The Round of 64 (High Reps, Low Impact)
• 64 Mountain Climbers (Single count): Focus on form, not speed.
• 64 Air Squats: Steady pace. Keep the chest up like you’re boxing out for a rebound.
Station 2: The Sweet 16 (The Core)
• 16 Big Boy Sit-ups: Slow and controlled.
• 16 Box Jumps (or Step-ups): Use a curb or bench. Step-ups are the preferred moderate modification here.
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 3: The Elite 8 (Upper Body)
• 8 Merkins (Push-ups): Quality over quantity.
• 8 Carolina Dry Docks: Great for the shoulders.
• 8 Werkins (Wide-arm push-ups):
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 4: The Full Court Press (Cardio)
• The Suicides: Run 10 yards and back, 20 yards and back, 30 yards and back.
• The Modification: Perform this at a 60% “recovery” pace rather than a sprint.
III. The “Buzzer Beater” (Finisher)
The “Bobby Hurley.” On the Q’s command, everyone “slaps the floor” (squats down to touch the ground) and jumps up for a jump shot.
• Perform 15 reps total.

Go through gauntlet again as a group
